My new book Lift Up Your Heart chronicles the experience of being moved to new places and circumstances as wild and wayward as they have been blessed and inspired.

Reflections on my contemplative practices and meeting myself and others just as we are in circumstances just as they are.
Though it is true “a painting is never finished,” there are unmistakable moments when I immediately know the painting has reached a state where it rests in wholeness.
I discern this state as active with the aliveness of a dynamic incarnational being, and quiet with the unchanging presence of the One in Whom all things hold together.
Finding God within is not about following doctrine, but allowing yourself to relate to God experientially.
